Padding

The pad in a bike short designed for women differs from a men's pad. It is:

wider at the sit bones,

shorter in length - no need for a large "modesty panel" up front.

Chamois pads are available in a variety of thicknesses, shapes, densities and cover fabrics. The best chamois for a particular rider is a matter of personal preference. Unfortunately, it may take time and experience to determine what works best for your unique anatomy.
